Tools and Hardware Reviews of Claber 8053 Oasis 4-Program/20 Plant Garden Automatic Drip Watering System
Customer Review: Does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
This device was simpler to set up than I expected. And it simply works. No fuss, no muss. Cut the tubes to fit the space between the plants, put the drippers in place and it started doing its job. The only negatives I have is that it has drippers for only up to around 20 plants. I have more.Customer Review: Drips away....slowly
Summary: 3 Stars
Works for smaller pots. Large pots may require several drippers (6+). I would recommend testing the system first by letting the drippers drip in a bowl or container to guage how many drippers and what setting you should use. Unfortunately I had to revert to manual watering for TWO 13' bamboo trees in 2 LARGE pots using this one system - did not suffice :(Customer Review: Exactly What I Needed
Summary: 4 Stars
I go away on business for a week or 10 days about 3 times a year. I have a balcony with about 20 plants that I don't want to have to replace and mature again. There are people who can, and sometimes will, agree to water my plants. Sometimes I come home and the plants have been either under watered or they've been watered to death the day before I get home; occasionally they've been watered just right. Recently none of my cast of potential plant sitters was available so I searched and found Oasis. It is just what my plants needed! I set it up a couple of days before I left to test it, and not being sure, I saturated each plant before setting the Oasis to run. I don't think that was necessary. When I returned home all of my plants were healthy and happy. The instructions say to use the device indoors (outdoors it could overheat), and I could have moved the plants indoors, but I have a storage closet on the balcony and I was able to set up the reservoir on a tray table in the closet and run the tubing under the door to the plants which, per instruction, were a couple of feet below the reservoir (on the balcony floor). I would have liked a few extra plant emitters and would like to be able to buy more tubing in the future, but have not found a source. Emitters that you find at home centers are NOT the same and won't work; they will just run constantly... and the drip irrigation hose available at home centers is different, it's more ridged and very difficult to remove from the emitters and the Oasis after use if you want. The tubing provided with Oasis is soft and pliable.Customer Review: Exceeded my expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
The product does a great job of watering your plants while you are away. When you first open the box it is a little daunting to see all the hose and little plastic parts. But, if you follow the directions exactly it works like a charm! I have 10 house plants. I set the dial to the slowest feed when I left for a 3 week business trip. When I returned everything was as lush and green and vibrant as before I left. I definitely recommend this product for people that travel a lot and have house plants. On a side note, I noticed that the plants that were closest to the device and first to receive and last to receive water received slightly more than the other plants. I elevated the unit just a couple of inches higher than the minimum directed. Despite this, all the plants thrived while I was away.Customer Review: Great Device
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this device to keep 8 rather larges plants watered while I travel every month. I used two drippers per pot and left plenty of extra tubing between the plants. It worked great, really great. I've had to use it 5x so far and each time it worked perfectly.
I've tried several things in the past including other drip system as well as the 3 different kinds of watering spikes. Not of them worked as well or as easily as the Oasis. Highly recommend this.
